VD 22 is a sunflower variety developed to ensure high yield and adapted to various soil types, including arid regions. This variety is distinguished by its high resistance to pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in complex climatic conditions. Plant height reaches 175-185 cm, and the vegetation period is 90-95 days, allowing for effective planning of agrotechnical measures.
VD 22 seeds possess high germination energy and are resistant to six races of rust, significantly reducing the risk of yield losses. The sunflower head has a convex shape, with a yield potential reaching 45 c/ha, while the maximum yield in the steppe zone is about 28 c/ha. Seeds are treated with a three-component fungicide, providing protection against a wide range of diseases, which further enhances the crop's resilience to abiotic factors such as heat and drought.
VD 22 is suitable for classical cultivation technology and is an optimal choice for crop rotation, especially in regions with a problem of infection by rust. Thanks to its characteristics, this sunflower variety not only contributes to stable high yield but also supports traditions of oilseed farming, remaining in demand among farmers striving for quality and efficient production.
